Tears.

And oh, If I could explain the tears, that sometimes dwell next to my eyes I'd fear that I'd have nothing to tell you. I do not cry for peace, nor out of terror. I do not cry because of pain, nor of jubilee. So I tell you that my eyes, they are dry. Now, leave me alone, to my work, to my self, that I may be occupied with important matters, and, that my loneliness would not be seen, that my broken heart would not show itself any longer.
